Well this isn't going to be a build thread, more so documenting the mtdi build in the work van.
So it's been a while since I've been on here, most recent car I've been driving was a 5 series E39 which i picked up for £150 and dropped a new lump in, then smashed it into a barrier.
So I picked up this mk2 caddy pickup for £200 as an mot failure, can't really call it a vw as it's just a skoda felicia.. odd setup!
The mot failure was rust, these things love it, main place was sills and arches.
So I chopped the sills out and made new jacking points as you can't get replacement panels for these now.
Welded the turrets also
Flew through mot, did 500 miles to London and back then blew the pump seals
No point fixing the gash sdi lump, wanted to mtdi it anyway
Picked up an AHU from a mk3 golf for pennies
Thought I might as well do all the gaskets while it's out, so cleaned all the carbon up (haven't got a picture of after, skim)
Essentially it's all back together until my 300tdi pump gets delivered then can get it all timed up and start on making my exhaust manifold.
I'm aiming for 250bhp and around 400ft/lbs which is easily done.
